Chapter 73 Looting
This warehouse street with various items is located near the harbor area near the river on the edge of the city.
Most of the goods stored in warehouses in this area are daily necessities and raw materials, and are all goods that can be seen everywhere. Perhaps because the holders of these goods do not think it is necessary to equip low-priced goods on a large scale, and there are only a few warehouse managers in each warehouse here.
During the day, there are always staff and trucks coming and going in this street to make this place look very lively. But at night, when there are only a few guards on duty left on the street, there is only darkness and silence between the cracks in the building complex, as if the hustle and bustle during the day are just a phantom.
In the images projected by Aurodin, the streets showed a look that was not very similar to those of the usual night scene. The firelight and blasting sounds tear apart the originally calm night scene.
"This is the scene I took from a distance. Although I couldn't see the appearance of the robbers because of the distance, I could clearly see their actions." Aurodin explained, "from which we can see that these robbers are planned and disciplined organizations, not a group of mobs."
First of all, Curt felt that he had to praise the image selection angle Aurodin chose. He was located far away and included all the locations of the robbery in his sight. And it was also right. The prisoners who were about to loot the warehouse were obviously premeditated, and they surrounded the warehouse from all directions.
On the road where there were originally no one, there were now these twenty weird men in black robes standing on it, just like pagans ceremonial gatherings. They held various equipment for releasing ancient spells in their hands, and a huge "eye" embroidered on the black robes that wrapped around their bodies.
It can be seen from the image that the shape and pattern of the eye symbols of these weirdos is obviously different from the "Embroidered Eye". Compared with the red one-eyed eye engraved in the triangle frame, the dark blue eyes embroidered on the hood of the black robe gives people a subtle feeling of discomfort.
Whether it was a chain or a vine, around the burning "eyes" that emitted a faint blue light, circled and circled to find the strange patterns that followed. These patterns were not as eye-catching as the blue eyes in the middle, but also exuded a sense of existence that cannot be ignored.
Thanks to the dim night, none of these strange men in strange costumes noticed Aurodin who was peering at their actions on the top of a distant building. They approached the warehouse in groups from intersections in various directions, blocking all the roads connecting the warehouse with the outside world.
The looted warehouse, Cott, had walked past him while performing his mission. He still remembered that there was a small courtyard outside. The wall of the warehouse was a partition wall built with thick reinforced concrete, and the main entrance separated the inside and outside was a heavy iron fence gate of two people.
It can be said that this warehouse is the most perfectly constructed among all nearby buildings, and ordinary robbers may not be able to break through its defense. This may be related to the relatively high-priced spell materials stored in it, and its owner has also considered how to guard against those who are interested.
But now, this defense is shaky, and the walls that can only be used to defend ordinary attacks are fragile under the bombardment of spells. This strange group is not dressed up on the outside and looks like a group of spell casters, but in fact they are indeed operating spells to attack.
From the lowest level of "flash gun" to the relatively difficult "flame arrow", a large number of the weirdos surrounding the warehouse raised the tools for casting. One by one, the shining spells were formed in front of the tools, and then shot towards the buildings behind the high walls under their guidance.
"Is the spells so worthless now?" Curt looked at the scene in the projection and asked Dean François with surprise. "Even if these people are embarrassed, they make several times more money than robbing warehouses."
In the past, when spells were also used as a kind of hidden knowledge, spells were a scarce and "noble" talent. Although modern spell education has been popularized to a certain extent, it has not yet spread to the point where most of the robbers were spells.
"No, no, that's not the case. In fact, even in an era when magicians were still a kind of 'noble identity', there were many magicians who became criminals for the sake of not writing. "Maybe after seeing through Curt's doubts, François shook his head and began to explain to him, "But you are right. No matter how you are, there is no need to rob the warehouse if you have a magician of this person."
He pointed to the picture and signaled Curt to pay attention to Aurodin's projection.
Almost at the same time, Curt noticed what François referred to as "that man" - he should be the leader of all the men in black present, wearing a robe slightly different from others. In his hand, he also held a long staff slightly taller than his height.
He held up his long staff, and the dazzling stones inlaid at the front of the simple wooden structure of the long staff emitted a dazzling flash. The scattered light woven into a circle of magic cubes. The magic power continued to fill, and after a moment, a ball of burning fireball shot from the center of the magic cube array towards the closed iron gate.
boom!
The strong heavy iron fence gate was instantly knocked to the ground by the spell shot from the outside, and the cold iron block was shattered by the impact of the spell. The broken flames penetrated the fence on the door and shot onto the vegetation growing in the yard, turning some vegetation into burning torches.
Seeing the man in black destroying the gate, François said to Curt: "The spell he used was 'burning fireball', a very high-level spell in the elemental system - as for power, I think you should know it. As far as I know, the underground forces of the Dominion did not have people of this level in the past."
Moreover, these robbers did not seem to be just for robbery. François pointed to the center of the picture and asked Curt to pay attention to the next action of the man in black.
After the door was blasted open, the black-clothed monsters did not stop projecting spells, and more plants turned into torches in the yard gradually became more and more. The dry turf on the ground was the best combustion aid. In a blink of an eye, the flames that were not too big just now were probably spreading rapidly and were about to roll towards the warehouse in the center.
The fire became increasingly bigger, but those people didn't care at all. Instead, they increased their firepower more and more. For a moment, several fireballs dragged their tails to the warehouse in the yard. It seemed that they were deliberately trying to ignite the building and triggered a fire in the warehouse street.
Such a big noise cannot attract the attention of people around you, but no one noticed it in the warehouse street at night. At the same time, it is not known whether the men in black had already cleared the nearby streets before they took action. Such a commotion has not spread yet.
The guards who were supposed to be on guard missions around the city of Katris should have come to investigate the sudden riot. But at this time, most of the men had already followed Grosted to the street to fight the monster, and their defense on Warehouse Street became weak.
As a result, the only guards left in the warehouse were able to counterattack these black-clothed monster groups that were attacking from all directions on the scene.
If the other party is a mob with only civilian equipment, then the guards responsible for protecting the warehouse can rely on the high walls of the warehouse as a barrier to defend before the guards receive the report. But now the ones who want to rob the warehouse are not ordinary robbers, but some magician groups that can release powerful destructive spells. The guards are simply vulnerable in front of them.
The guards who tried to stop them had already been knocked down, but now only two or three poor people were left in the warehouse surrounded by them. They had already lost their fighting spirit and left their arms to escape from their posts. However, these deserters were all hit by spells before they escaped and rushed to the ground.
After knocking down the last guard of the warehouse, several group members in strange clothes entered the gaps blasted by spells. Their attitude was like walking in their back garden, and they walked into the warehouse that had been ignited by several flames without any concern.
From the shadows of several nearby non-adjacent streets, several medium-sized freight drives of different styles slowly drove out, and they were docked one by one near the warehouse. After a while, the personnel entering the warehouse began to transport boxes of fully encapsulated boxes from the warehouse.
The boxes raised by the spells used for transport were slowly loaded into the car. Several men in black who had been waiting by the road walked up to caress the surface of the box. After a flash of spell light flashed, the boxes actually turned into completely different appearances from the original ones.
Only through the images recorded by Aurodin, Curt could not guess whether the spell used to change the appearance of the box was an illusion spell or a change spell. But there was no doubt that this group, which used the "eye" symbol of different appearances, had a large number of good-level spells.
Soon, vehicles filled with goods evacuated one by one by one, leaving more violent flames to swallow the warehouse that had been looted by them.
"How, Mr. Ryanster." The image provided by Aurodin ended, and Cruise François asked Curt calmly, "Do you think that before this robbery, even an underground organization in Catris would rob a warehouse after it could achieve this level?"
This question is difficult to answer in a hurry.
From the image, we can see that the previous robbery not only included attackers, but also logistics teams responsible for transportation, and even cleaning teams that covered traces. The division of labor among members of this organization is very clear, and Curt can be sure that everyone can transform into combat power when necessary.
It seems that the truth is really as he said, this is a new force that wants to pierce Katris into the original darkness.
